Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between NEMA 12 and NEMA 3R enclosures?
NEMA 12 enclosures are designed for indoor use and provide protection against dust, falling dirt, and dripping non-corrosive liquids. NEMA 3R enclosures are designed for outdoor use and provide protection against rain, sleet, and ice formation while allowing for better ventilation.
How does the emergency bypass contactor work?
The emergency bypass contactor allows the motor to run at full voltage if the soft starter fails or requires maintenance. It automatically switches to bypass mode during emergencies or can be manually activated, ensuring continuous motor operation without interruption.
What motor protection features are included with MX2 control?
MX2 control provides comprehensive ANSI protection including overcurrent, undervoltage/overvoltage, unbalanced current, phase sequence, thermal overload, ground fault, frequency, and lockout protection, plus single phase protection, shorted SCR detection, and mechanical jam protection.
Can the RX2E be programmed remotely via Modbus?
Yes, the RX2E supports Modbus register mapping for remote programming and monitoring. This allows integration with SCADA systems, PLCs, and other automation equipment for centralized control and data acquisition from multiple soft starters.
What are the typical applications for the RX2E soft starter?
The RX2E is ideal for pumping applications requiring adjustable voltage control deceleration and general three-phase motor starting applications where enhanced control, motor protection, and smooth starting/stopping are critical for equipment longevity and operational efficiency.
